FAMILY CHAUFFEUR/SECURITY REQUIRED FOR UHNW FAMILY IN CENTRAL LONDON
A fantastic opportunity has arisen for an experienced Chauffeur / Security professional to join an ultra-high-net-worth family based in Central London. This is a predominantly driving-focused position, supporting the family with school runs, appointments, errands and day-to-day transportation, while also providing a discreet security presence. The successful candidate will have a professional military or army background and previous experience working with UHNW principals and families.
The role will involve an early start to complete the children’s school drop-offs, followed by ad hoc driving and household errands during the morning. These may include collecting dry cleaning, grocery shopping, running local errands and driving the principals as required. There is generally a break from approximately 12pm-3pm before returning for the children’s school pick-ups from around 4:30pm, followed by afternoon activities, appointments and further driving requirements.
The family travel frequently and do not reside permanently in the UK, meaning the working pattern can vary depending on when the principals are in residence. This is a Monday-Friday role, though some weekend work may be required, with days off in lieu provided.
